Chapter 3 The improvement of magic is too expensive
[Ice Swordsmanship Experience Value +1]
[Ice Swordsmanship Experience Value +1]
[.]
In the underground secret room of the castle, Romo was wearing armor and holding a blue frost sword. According to the sheepskin The practice method on the roll is to keep making slashing movements.
In the past ten days, he first rested for two days, eating a lot of meat and rich green vegetables to recharge his energy, and finally made up for his lost body.
Then, he locked himself in a secret room and practiced ice swordsmanship desperately.
Anyway, the secret room is empty now. Moving the stone table to the corner will just make an ideal training venue.
Luo Mozhi chose to practice in a secret room in order to keep the secret that he had been promoted to a Dharma Knight. He also warned Barron not to tell the story.
You know, as a magician profession, the Dharma Knight is very rare in the Volo Valley.
Strictly speaking, only the city hall, the territory of Marquis Hillier, and a few two or three powerful territories have mages.
As the saying goes, any tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. As a small territory that struggled to survive in the cracks, the Sardine Territory did not even have a knighthood, and the militia was completely undersized.
In such a territory with loose defenses and withering talents, the sudden appearance of a magic knight will definitely attract the attention of many parties, and even be afraid.
Although everyone is a lord of Clay who relies on the Volo River for survival, they will have more or less friendships and connections from generation to generation. But no one wants their neighbor to become bigger and stronger.
Luo Mo is still too weak now. He has no choice whether he is being coaxed or suppressed.
Therefore, the best way is to hide yourself and develop silently. As long as others don't mess with him, he will definitely not mess with others.
After all, I have a skill panel with unlimited growth possibilities.
Over the past few days, I have become more and more proficient in ice swordsmanship, and I have become more and more comfortable in slashing. We also have a preliminary understanding of the application of freezing effects.
But now there is a problem that gives Luo Mo a headache, that is, his own magic power is simply not enough.
As he continued to slash, the freezing effect began to become weaker and weaker. He had to stop and start breathing heavily.
He walked to the corner, drank a large basin of water, tore off a few pieces of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, and then opened his skill panel:
[Name: Lomosaldin]
[Age: 23]
[Strength: 5.6 ]
[Agility: 5.7]
[Remaining physical strength: 60.5%]
[Magic Knight level: entry level]
[Blood Sacrifice Contract: Green Frost Great Sword]
[Elemental magic: 1.1 (water attribute)]
[Remaining magic power: 9%]
[Skills]
[ Ice Swordsmanship: Level 1 (285/1000)]
After only two hours of training, less than 10% of the magic power was left.
In other words, once you are involved in a battle that is more intense than training, your freezing effect may only last for an hour, or even less.
According to my experience these days, maintaining physical strength is related to strength value. The stronger the strength, the more abundant the physical strength. The maintenance of magic power is related to the magic value.
If you want to make your magic power abundant, you can only increase your magic value. But after practicing for so long, the magic value has only increased by 0.1.
Without magic value, even the training time cannot be guaranteed, which seriously affects the upgrade efficiency.
Luo Mo scratched his head, feeling a little depressed, and began to look through the parchments, trying to find a way to quickly increase his magic value.
After studying for a long time, Luomo closed the parchment and rubbed his sore eyes. I don’t know which ancestor wrote the guide, but the handwriting is really sloppy.
According to the records on the parchment, there are not only ways to accumulate magic, but also various ways.
Magic crystal ores, demonized beasts, and some rare and exotic herbs that contain the magical properties of the water element can all be used to effectively obtain magic through refining and eating them in certain ways.
But these things are without exception very expensive. It’s okay to buy it once in a while, but supplying it all year round is completely unaffordable for Lomo.
It's like Romo is thirsty and wants to drink something to quench his thirst. But Parchment's advice to him was to buy a bottle of 1982 Lafite worth 50,000 yuan.
And the specific amount that can be absorbed is also related to the individual's physique. Just like eating meat will lead to obesity, but not everyone will gain weight if they eat meat.
Luo Mo secretly sighed in his heart, no wonder mages are so noble and rare in this world. He thought it was too difficult before, but now it seems that it may be too expensive.
However, after all, ancestor Sardin was well-informed, and some of his suggestions were relatively reliable.
For example, a more durable and efficient method is mentioned: building a contract altar.
The Contract Altar can connect the main material world and other magical planes, and has a wide range of specific uses. Not only can it absorb the magic in the plane, but it can even summon the powerful energy in the plane to the main material world.
If you can build a water altar, connect the place where the altar is to the water elemental plane. Then water-based magic will flow continuously.
This is equivalent to digging a well in the main material world. The magical water flows from the elemental plane and is inexhaustible.
This is a once and for all method. Luo Mo counted the materials needed to build the contract altar and began to make calculations.
Two tons of source ore, half a ton of ground iron ore, ten 20-gram sky sapphires, 500 grams of water essence, a large amount of water cloud grass juice, and obsidian for laying the foundation. After calculating for a long time,
Luo Mo threw the pen away and cursed softly.
A total of 1,300 gold coins!
This is calculated using the lowest market price.
Maybe he could come up with it when his father was still alive, but now he can't get so many gold coins even if he sells everything.
In the past few months, Luomo has focused on solving the problem of food and clothing. There are almost no commercial crops grown, and there are basically no transactions with the outside world.
Of course, the crops grown in the fields can be sold for money, but they are still being harvested. It will take two months to complete the harvest and preliminary processing.
It's just that winter will enter in two months, and selling food will definitely lead to attacks by jackals and kobolds. The desire of lower races for food in winter is like the desire of animals in estrus for the opposite sex.
Based on the chips in hand now, it seems that there is no hope of achieving more than a thousand gold coins in the short term.
Luo Mo sighed secretly in his heart, he could only improve slowly through constant practice.
Time passed day by day, and due to the problem of frequent depletion of magic points, Romo's training time on [Ice Swordsmanship] was limited. The majority of the day is still spent on the four fundamentals of the Cavaliers.
He opened an open-air training ground in the yard of the manor. When I practice ice swordsmanship, I am in the secret room, and when I practice the four knights, I go to the courtyard.
He clearly understands that even ice swordsmanship requires the foundation of knight's basic swordsmanship. Therefore, these projects cannot be abandoned.
In the manor, the autumn harvest activities are in full swing. Half of the more than thirty households are responsible for harvesting more than 100 acres of land, while the other half continue to cultivate and fertilize the land. A small number of people are also divided into grazing, although it cannot be called Overworked, but basically running at full capacity.
Barron and his two sons direct the harvesting and stacking of wheat every day, and his gray beard is stained with lots of wheat straw almost every day.
Although tiring, this was the most productive year for Saldin Manor in years. Everyone was smiling and there was a happy atmosphere inside and outside the manor.
The piles of wheat straw are getting higher and higher, and the manor can no longer hold them. Part of it is paved directly to Lomo's training ground in the yard.
When the farmers were carrying the wheat straw, they saw that the lord trained so hard every day, even harder than doing farm work themselves, and they immediately felt a sense of security that they had not seen for a long time.
Since the death of Old Lord Saltin, the farmers in the manor have occasionally fled; the Jackal invasion of the manor half a year ago directly caused 30% of the farmers to flee.
Nowadays, with a bumper grain harvest, the farmers have gradually formed a cohesion, and the escape incident has never happened again.
Everyone respected Lord Lomo more and more, and the girls in the village often used Lord Lomo as a romantic partner. Although she is not qualified to be the lord's wife, she may at least be able to receive his blessing.
However, Luo Mo did not give any chance to these maids and girls who were greedy for his body.
Not being in line with Luo Mo's aesthetics is just one of the reasons. The main reason is that Luo Mo is not a casual person.
At this stage, only constant training can make him feel fulfilled, and everything else is nonsense.
